<p>getpsyched getpsyched get psyched.</p>

<p>off to first test of the day (8.022). wish me luck. :|</p>

2

<p>Yeah, my friend David was up studying for that. Good luck!</p>

3

<p>My son is taking that today. Good luck. Let us all know how it was when you finish. Thanks</p>

4

<p>:(</p>

<p>well f me, there were CAPACITOR ON PULLEYS</p>

<p>I did not study for a 8.012 exam I studied for an 8.022 exam.</p>

CAPACITOR ON PULLEYS

</p>

<p>You MUST be joking!!:D</p>

6

<p>actually yeah you're right that's not true.</p>

<p>there should be an "S" at the end of "c-a-p-a-c-i-t-o-r" in that sentence as there was more than one capacitor hanging off that two-pulley system.</p>

<p>MY BAD.</p>

7

<p>haha pebbles...MIT IS TOTALLY WEIRED!! Good luck</p>

8

<p>What was the problem?</p>

9

<p>it'll be online in a couple of days, I could link it if you remind me</p>

10

<p>AHA.</p>

<p>the average grade on the 8.022 test was a 49.</p>

11

<p>no wonder they call .012/.022 versions of courses the "on crack" versions...</p>

12

<p>Good news and bad news. I got nearly (very nearly) the same grade on both 8.022 and 6.001 tests. The 6.001 test average was in the high 70s.</p>

<p>Anyway the tests are up (with solutions) if anyone is curious.</p>

13

<p>You 8.022 people are nuts. I don't know why you'd ever take that class unless you wanted to be a physics major?</p>

<p>Maybe if you were feeling too good about yourself?</p>

<p>(I do half want to be a physics major...)</p>

15

<p>But guys, physics is awesome</p>

16

<p>Yeah...I love E&M! If only I could take it :). </p>

<p>BTW, what are the extra labs you guys get to do? Also, where can one find the exam?</p>

17

<p>our labs are TEAL in color :) basically you just fidget around with some capacitors/circuits/w.tf else attached to the computer. We do get to wreak havoc on the TEAL rooms though.</p>

<p>The quiz is here: <a href="http://web.mit.edu/8.022/www/quiz/S06-Q1.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://web.mit.edu/8.022/www/quiz/S06-Q1.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>the solution is here: <a href="http://web.mit.edu/8.022/www/quiz/S06-Q1-sol.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://web.mit.edu/8.022/www/quiz/S06-Q1-sol.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>By the way I got totally violated by problem 4. Beware of vector calculus.</p>

18

<p>how much time did u get to take that?</p>

19

<p>not enough.</p>

<p>1.5 hours or so.</p>

20

<p>At Caltech, we did these problems... they were on the easy section of our weekly quiz in comparative literature! While walking uphill both ways in the Pasadena snow.</p>

<p>:-P <em>sits quietly as pebbles beats me to shreds with a pulley-capacitor system</em></p>

<p>Kidding, kidding. 8.022 seems like a good course. Glad you're enjoying yourself, pebbles : )</p>
